[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
She had a lovely face and was gazing out her window. It was a very poor area in Istanbul's Samatya neighbourhood, one of the oldest of the city. Although more than 25 years have passed I still remember that I was happy when I caught her expression and the softness created by the glass. As said above, this girl is probably 30 years old, and most probably married with a few chidren.

Merhaba İzzet Bey, belki ilginç gelebilir ama bu fotoğrafta ilk dikkatimi çeken macunlu pencere camı oldu. O yıllarda pencerelerdeki macunlar çok belirgindi. Resme bakınca o zamanları hatırladım. Hatta küçük çocuklar kırılan camı yenilemeye gelen camcıdan macun alıp oyun oynarlardı.

Fotoğrafınız o yılların renklerini güzel yansıtmış. Samatya'yı bizzat gidip görmedim ama, İstanbul'un zamana yenik düşmeyen semtlerinden biri olduğunu, fotoğrafçılar için hâlâ iyi malzemeler barındırdığını duyarım hep. Ne derecede doğrudur bilmiyorum.

Elinize sağlık, çok saygılar, Tolga

merhaba izzet bey
müthiş ve çok güzel bir kompozisyon.yaklaşık otuz yıl öncesinin olması küçük bir nostalji olmuş.özellikle penceredeki çocuğun duruş ve ifadesi son derece mükemmel görünüyor.ayrıca detaylarda çok güzel elinize sağlık.
selamlar

She could be my schoolmate, I guess :)
Lovely catch, Izzet, a classic with a timeless quality that will never become a cliche (well, imho). Such softness and emotion behind those harsh iron bars...
warm regards

Merhaba İzzet Bey,
tarih ve eski kokan bir fotograf... kızın dalgın bakışları, camda duruşu ve cama dokunuşu harika.. pencerenin eski dokusu harika, macunlar bile çok güzel görülüyor.. Bu fotoğraf benimle yaşıt.. çok sevdim, elinize sağlık,

Hello Izzet.
A very fine shot from 'long ago'. The wistful expression on her face is priceless, and the bars over the window seem to say something meaningful. A delightful and affecting candid 'portrait'. I hope you are right and that she is living the happy life you imagine. Very nicely scanned and presented in simple style.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Izzet,
This beautiful capture through the glass together with the muted colouring definately give an old fashioned feeling. I like her expression and the bars on the windows are a nice feature too. It is strange to think what she may be doing with her life now so many years later.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Izzet Bey,
woooooooooaaahhhh. Am I impressed? Taken in 1981, and it seems like you have taken it a short while ago. The composition is absolutely superb, needless to say, and the colors just wonderful. Her gaze, the expression just superb.
Best personal regards. Salvator.

Selam dear İzzet Bey,
This evergreen is really great. Technically maybe not the best one, but a good evidence, that a good seeing eye has allways the creative pover. No matter if analog or digitally photographed.
TFSa and best regards

Merhaba İzzet bey,
Yıl 1981..Çok nostaljik bir kare.ışık renkler ve detaylar enfes.küçük kız pencerede biraz tedirgin biraz merakla kimi bekliyor acaba? belki bir akşamüstü babasını.ya da oyuncak satıcısını veya dondurmacıyı.
çok anlam yüklü bir kare.farklı duygular hissettiriyor.ifadeyi çok güzel yakalamışsınız.elbisesi minik elleri ve sevimli yüzü ne güzel.şimdi nerede neler yapıyor kimbilir.bu güzel nostaljik paylaşım için teşekkürler.selamlar.

Hello teacher, another small jewel of the PHOTOGRAPHY, simple, natural, daily ..... beautiful image of the girl in the window.
The art is there, only it is necessary to see it.

Un abrazo amigo Izzet y gracias por tu buen hacer, aunque hayan pasado 25 años.

Very touching, human, and full of unsung memories.
The soft quality is impressive, the framing perfect, the questions unanswered...

Merhaba Izzet Bey. Thirty years ago and taking great photos then and now. Wonderful moment of a little girl with a wistful look. I wouldn't be surprised if she was watching some boys playing some rough game and wondering why is the world a male domain. On the other hand, she could have been watching a few girls playing and she had not been invited, or... That is the beauty of this photo. one can create a hundred stories for that little face. Regards. Klaudio.

I'm in China at the moment, and just logged in to say a few words about this wonderful capture from so long ago. Having a five-year old myself now, I am partial to such images, esp. when they are so lovely. Surprised you still have the exposure data. Polonaise has a point about the color cast, even though I did not detect it at first sight and still am not so much bothered by it. Should be easily fixable on PS. Best wishes,
Hakan

Merhaba Izzet.

Sometimes is very strange when you think how the times goes by.
But that's not the matter of the photo. It is true, it is an old picture. But also is true is a very good picture.
I see this photo and I understand much better why you are a teacher... no THE teacher of TE.

Take care.
